About Maitena

Maitena Anda is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Maitena focuses on providing calm, respectful support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain.

She offers straightforward, compassionate conversation. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and situation. Maitena pays attention to how past relationships and early attachments influence current patterns.

Background and approach

Her work draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred ways of working. She also uses elements of existential thought, Jungian perspectives and mindfulness to help clients make sense of difficult feelings. These approaches aim to bring clarity rather than jargon.

Maitena often helps people dealing with grief, intimacy-related worries, parenting strain and family conflict. She also supports those navigating LGBT concerns, abandonment issues, body image or codependency. Her practice includes work with trauma, dissociation and separation and the challenges they bring.

Sessions may explore personal history, current relationships and daily habits. Maitena helps people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. The tone is practical, warm and direct, with an emphasis on the person's own goals.

She works in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. People typically start by completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging sessions that fit their schedule.

Ways of working Maitena names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. Online sessions can help people identify patterns of closeness and distance and practice different responses in relationships.

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own experience and pace. The counsellor follows the person's lead, offering acceptance and reflection to help them find their own solutions for issues such as anxiety or low self-esteem.

Mindfulness-based elements bring attention to thoughts and bodily sensations. These simple practices can reduce reactivity to stress and help with emotional regulation in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. The counsellor will discuss what feels helpful and adapt methods to the client's needs, goals and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to provide flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more accessible for people juggling work, family or travel.
